Bring You Down

I was there while you lured the young and the beautiful

I was there as you striped them of all their worth

I was there when they paid you for tearing their souls apart

And then paid you to heal the hurt

I was there when you troubled the hearts of the helpless ones

I was there when you told them they'd never heal

I was there when they gave up their dreams for your nothingness

And then opened the door to the lives you'd steal

So I'm going to be there when the bring you down

When you told the well fed that they still didn't have enough

And the strong to keep far from the helpless weak

When you drowned their compassion with the gifts their hearts most desired

I was there when you whispered those words in my father's ear

I was there the morning he didn't wake

But you have made me stronger, digging graves for the ones I love

So I'm going to be there when it's you they break
